Britt avoided a suspension last year because his transgressions happened during the lockout. This is Britt’s eighth arrest since he became a pro in 2009. He won’t escape a suspension this time. Between his three offseason knee surgeries, a likely suspension, and the propensity to keep doing these kinds of things, Britt is looking like a WR3/WR4 pick in the 7th-10th round range at best.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant could face a one-game suspension for his arrest for misdemeanor family violence.

Bryant has had enough off-field incidents now to get the wrong kind of attention from commissioner Roger Goodell. The Cowboys have no clear-cut number three receiver, so there might be an opening night starting job up for grabs this summer in Dallas. Bryant should not be taken earlier than the fourth round until this is resolved.

The San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms with free-agent RB Jackie Battle (Chiefs) on a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Battle joins Ronnie Brown and seventh-round pick Edwin Baker as offseason additions to the team’s running back corps. Only one of the three of them and 2011 third-stringer Curtis Brinkley is likely to make the team with fullback LeRon McClain also able to be a backup ball carrier.

Atlanta Falcons C Peter Konz is a serious candidate to win the starting right guard position during training camp.

Right guard was a real sore spot on the offensive line for the Falcons last year. Konz could be an upgrade over Garrett Reynolds if free agent Vince Manuwai can’t regain his old form. The Falcons offensive line being settled and gelling might be the most important story of their training camp this year.

The Arizona Cardinals will give TE Rob Housler every opportunity to become a breakout player this season. He was a part of a lot of plays during offseason workouts because the coaching staff wanted to get him as much experience as possible.

Housler has good speed and size, and he could benefit from the coverage that Larry Fitzgerald draws with regularity. He is a deep sleeper in redraft leagues, not worth selecting, but monitoring as a potential early season waiver wire pickup.

Miami Dolphins WR Brian Hartline said the wide receivers are hoping the quarterback competition does not take too long because they need to build a chemistry with the starting quarterback. ‘You need situations where he throws a bad ball, but you bail him out. You need to gain confidence in that, and vice versa. You run a bad route, but he’s got your back. You want to start feeling that. You want to [have a chemistry] where he just throws the ball up and you begin to make plays for each other. That helps grow the chemistry and a bond,” Hartline said.

Ryan Tannehill has already been put on the back burner. We expect the David Garrard vs. Matt Moore decision to be done before the third preseason game, but whoever the winner is won’t be worth drafting except in the deepest of leagues. The outcome also won’t change the marginal value of the Miami wide receiver corps.

Buffalo Bills WR Stevie Johnson said he worked this offseason on trying to improve his yard after catch stats. He recorded 342 yards after the catch last season but only averaged 4.5 yards after each catch. Johnson said he believes his groin injury affected his ability to create yards after the catch.

Johnson was still productive through his injury, but there’s no doubt that he can be even better if he stays healthy this year. He is available outside of the top 20 receivers, showing the value at the position this year.

The Detroit Lions are working on signing first-round draft choice OT Riley Reiff but there is a chance an agreement may not be reached until after the start of training camp. Reiff and his agent may be waiting for the Minnesota Vikings to sign OT Ryan Kalil before signing with the Lions.

Reiff and other prospects in the early 20s of the first round are trying to get partial or full guarantees of the fourth year of their contract. No. 25 pick Dont’a Hightower got no such guarantee, so Reiff and no. 24 pick David DeCastro may have to give in on this point before they sign.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said neither RB LeGarrette Blount or RB Doug Martin are considered the favorite for the starting running back job. Schiano said the reps at running back will be given out in an appropriate manner.

Martin is still the running back with the more well-rounded skillset and the bigger commitment from the coaching staff and organization. Their ADP should not be as far apart as it is, but that’s more because Blount’s is too low than it is about Martin’s being too high.

After Robert Griffin III signed, the rest of the early first-round picks and teams had no excuses left to drag their heels on getting contracts drawn up and signed. With training camps beginning next week, look for the rest of the top eight to fall into place very soon.

The Dallas Cowboys will continue to negotiate with first-round draft choice CB Morris Claiborne Monday, July 23, in hopes of signing him before the start of training camp. The two sides still have to agree on the offset language in the contract.

No. 7 pick Mark Barron signed today with no offset language, and No. 9 pick Luke Kuechly also has no offset language in his contract. This should get done soon with no offset language. Claiborne still hasn’t practiced with the team yet as he is recovering from wrist surgery.
